#i haven't decided for sure yet but i think they're like... 19 or 20 in this AU

[archivalofsins]

The timeline today is so fun.

Really loving Mahiru's commitment to this whole I'm not holding a grudge at all routine. Like I'm so forgiving, I'm not mad. Please, come a little closer and trust me.

After all, I'm no liar-

Love is (Un)Dead 6:47 six minutes and forty-seven seconds in. "This means that... You think of me as a liar, doesn't it...? Did I do something that made you think that?

I would never hold a grudge, get jealous, or lie.

Love Is Mine 8:56 eight minutes and fifty-six seconds in. Jealousy... Grudges... Having your partner stolen from you... Those stories aren't all that uncommon now, are they? "You're wrong. It wasn't that. I... Never even wanted to kill anyone in the first place!"

Me big sis Mahiru nooo- never!

Love is (Un)Dead 1:24 one minute and twenty-four seconds in. "I think Kotoko-chan is the one who caused this, so... You know. It's not like it's your fault. Um, so...! I'm not holding a grudge against Kotoko-chan, either. I'm sure she just thought it couldn't be helped..."

"A monstrous dilemm... "DIE"."

Like go off passive aggressive queen. For someone who doesn't do any of those things, they're certainly brought up around and by you a lot. That's none of my business, though.

I am curious as to why you went to cell ten to talk to Kotoko but mentioned needing to thank Shidou still while there?

I mean, that's a bit odd. He lives right next to you. On top of that, he's been your caretaker for over a year now. Have you not seen him today? That's peculiar because he's presented himself as always needing to be by your side or you'd die. Because that's how bad your condition is.

Even discussing still giving you treatment on Yuno's birthday.

24/09/02 (Yuno’s Birthday)

Shidou: Thank you for your assistance with Shiina-kun’s treatment. It’s been a big help having you here. Both for her and for me. It’s good to know that even if something happens to me, you’ll still be around.

Yuno: No way. I can’t do anything on my own. All I’m doing is helping with whatever you’re doing. It’s just like playing pretend as a nurse.

Shidou: No, you’ve got a good sense for things like this. You’re quick to notice things, calm and fearless. If you haven’t decided what you want to be in the future, maybe you should consider becoming a doctor yourself.

Yuno: You think so? ……haha, stop it. I don’t want to be thinking about the future right now. And for someone like me to have other people’s lives in my hands…… that’s no laughing matter.

I know the audience hasn't seen you thank him within the timeline.

Yet, why would this come to mind while you were meeting up with Kotoko of all people? You didn't come here to thank her. You just wished her happy birthday.

So, what's the correlation? Why would seeing Kotoko make you think of thanking Shidou?

"In that case, give me the chance to make amends to extract that fang, now."

Weird it's just quite odd that would come to mind upon going to see her. Like, oh, Happy Birthday- Ah, that reminds me I should probably find a way to help and thank Shidou for all he's done for me.

Q.06 Do you forgive Kotoko?

Shidou: No. I can’t forgive someone for trying to achieve things with violence.

Q.07 Are there any prisoners you get along with?

Mahiru: I talk to Shidou-san a lot now, since he’s looking at my injuries. Also, Yuno-chan.

Even though you've both spoken a lot since the beginning of trial two, he lives right besides you, and he's been taking care of you daily- You haven't thanked him yet, Mahiru? Is that because you want to thank him through a certain gesture. By giving him something he may want in return for everything he's done for you. Could it be that seeing Kotoko reminded you of thanking him because she's somehow involved in how you will.

Let's cut the bullshit are you gonna try to kill Kotoko? Because, uh, this is getting questionable. The are you mad I'm not mad passive aggressiveness, the amicable distance, it's nothing new for her.

Kazui even asks her about it at the very start.

20/06/19

Kazui: By the way…… thanks, Shiina-chan. You keep going around and talking to people to make sure the mood never gets too sour, right?It’s a big help. We’re all in here together, after all. If a fight broke out, the whole group could fall apart.

Mahiru: ……eh? Huh~? Ah, no, I’m just talking to people because I personally want to talk. All the kids are so cute, so I can’t help but want to fuss over them! A fight, huh… But if that ever happened, then you’ll definitely be a big help, right~? Since you’re so big! And buff!

Kazui: Ahh, no. I mean, I’ll do what I can. Based on appearance, as long as nobody has a weapon, I think I can probably get everyone under control…… No, we should just hope that nothing like that ever happens.

Mahiru: You know, I quite like watching martial arts, actually. I don’t really get it, but it looks super cool. Hi-yah! Hi-yah!

In the same way Yuno and Futa question Mikoto for always seeming to force a smile and being chatty. Yet Kazui saying this has rarely ever been taken as an accurate read of Mahiru's personality like the statements about Mikoto have.

Like it's easy to fall into stereotyping and think,

Q.05 Who do you dislike most out of the other prisoners?

Mahiru: Futa-kun is a bully, so definitely out! Also, Mikoto is pretty flippant, he kinda seems like the type who’d cheat~

Futa is a brazen hot-head who doesn't think before acting. He's a natural bully he was too uneducated and reactionary to actually know the harm he was causing. Mikoto is careless and flippant but he was trying so hard. He never wanted to hurt anybody. They never had the intent to do what they did and regret it now.

Mahiru is just a silly airhead who didn't realize the harm she was causing to her partner.

"My emotions are out of control, that’s inconvenient? I don’t care!"

She was never actively malicious. She didn't want to cause harm to anyone. She wasn't holding a grudge or anything. There's not one hateful jealous bitter bone in her little silly body. She even still extends grace and kindness to Kotoko after all she put her through.

Mahiru Shiina is so kind she's bordering on saintly.

I hope everyone remembers how kindness can be used to manipulate and do harm to others outside of people who have moral ocd and think about that every day. Looking into love bombing outside of abusive religious contexts can be helpful to. Mostly because it allows one to recognize when it's being done on a interpersonal level and not just structural ones.

Knowing a good deal about both is always good.

Love Is Mine 10:32 ten minutes and thirty-two seconds in. "I... discovered how amazing it was to be in love with someone. It's incredible, you know? Each and every day seemed to sparkle and everything became vibrant. It transforms such mundane scenarios into those of soap operas and films!

Signs of Love Bombing Love bombing is often romanticized in TV and movies. The typical story involves an uninterested character who is being pursued by an eager suitor. The pursuer consistently violates the uninterested character’s boundaries until they fall in love and decide to be together. However, this unrealistic depiction of a relationship is actually a story of love bombing and how it can manifest in real life.

"This can’t go on, something’s got to give, I even love saying the words, “I love you”. My emotions are out of control, that’s inconvenient? I don’t care! Tell me, oh tell me why, won’t you just accept me?"

Love Is Mine 6:58 six minutes and fifty-eight seconds in. "You're fifteen, aren't you? Right in the heat of adolescence! Do you have anyone you like?" I honestly have no interest in those matters. "What? No, no. There's no such thing as that. Being in love is like a landmine. It'll explode someday, you know? The only thing that differs is whether it happens earlier or later in life."

According to Psychology Today, “love bombing is an attempt to influence another person with over-the-top displays of attention and affection.” This kind of behavior is a form of emotional abuse, and although it can be experienced during any stage of a relationship, it is often seen in the early stages of getting to know one another. It may seem like your new partner really likes you, but love bombing can often serve as a warning sign of an unhealthy relationship.

"What do you think? I know it's not the type of question you want to be asked."

Ultimately, you are the only one who knows what makes you feel comfortable and what does not. We know that all relationships exist on a spectrum from healthy to abusive, so it always helps to check in with yourself and decide if you need to speak to your partner about your concerns.

Healthy A healthy relationship means that both you and your partner are: Communicative. You talk openly about problems and listen to one another. You respect each other’s opinions. Respectful. You value each other’s opinions, feelings, and needs, and give each other the freedom to be yourself and be loved for who you are. Trusting. You believe what your partner has to say and don’t feel the need to “prove” each other’s trustworthiness. Honest. You’re honest with each other but can still keep some things private. Equal. You make decisions together and hold each other to the same standards. You and your partner have equal say with regard to major decisions within the relationship. All partners have access to the resources they need. Setting boundaries. You enjoy spending time apart, alone, or with others. You respect each other’s need for time and space apart. You communicate with each other about what you are and aren’t comfortable with. Practicing consent. You talk openly about sexual and reproductive choices together. All partners always willingly consent to sexual activity and can safely discuss what you are and aren’t comfortable with. Parenting supportively. All partners are able to parent in a way that they feel comfortable with. You communicate together about the needs of the child(ren), as well as the needs of the parents. Unhealthy You may be in an unhealthy relationship if your partner is: Non-communicative. When problems arise, you fight or you don’t discuss them at all. Disrespectful. You or your partner behave inconsiderately toward the other. Not trusting. You or your partner refuse to believe the other or feel entitled to invade their privacy. Dishonest. You or your partner lie, omit, or obscure facts. Taking control. You or your partner takes steps to suggest that one’s desires and choices are more important than another’s. Isolating. Your partner restricts your contact with other people, either in person or online. Pressured into sexual activity. One partner uses pressure or guilt against another to coerce them into sexual acts or reproductive choices. Ignoring boundaries. It’s assumed or implied that only one partner is responsible for making informed decisions. Unequal economically. Finances aren’t discussed. Financial decisions are made unilaterally or it’s assumed that only one partner is in charge of finances. Abusive A relationship is abusive when your partner: Communicates harmfully. Your partner communicates or in a way that is hurtful, threatening, insulting, or demeaning. Mistreats the other. Your partner doesn’t respect your thoughts, feelings, decisions, opinions, or physical safety. Makes untrue accusations. Your partner accuses you of cheating or breaking the boundaries of your relationship. Your partner may escalate by creating situations where you need to “prove” your trustworthiness, like handing over your social media passwords. Controls the other. There’s no equality in your relationship. One partner makes decisions without the other’s input, or makes all of the decisions in certain parts of the relationship, like finances. Isolates the other. Your partner controls where you travel, who you talk to, or how you spend your time. This often includes physical or emotional isolation from your family and friends. Forces sexual activity or controls reproductive choices. Your partner forces or pressures you to engage in sexual activity you don’t want to. Your partner controls your reproductive choices by sabotaging birth control, or by pressuring you to have or not have children. Controls finances. Your partner controls the money and access to resources, including preventing you from earning an income or accessing their own income. Having an open, respectful dialogue about finances is not an option. Manipulates children. Your partner uses your children to gain power and control over you, including telling them lies or baseless criticisms about you.

"Ring ring, I’m calling you in the middle of the night Forcing you to wake up, and I say “Good Morning!”." - "Giving you love to the point of pulling you down. It’s just because I still get worried, please forgive me. Even when I test you, even the times we do the breakup ritual."

Love Bombing Sign #4: Communication Overload When you first establish your relationship, you may speak to your partner more frequently, because you are learning about each other and your desires for your relationship. Good communication is required to have a solid and healthy relationship, but you should not be feeling overwhelmed by the amount of communication you are receiving. This could be an excellent time to talk about how you feel and find a way to communicate with each other that works for both of you.

Sign #1: "Soulmate" Status Finding a partner that feels like a perfect fit is gratifying. But it can take time to really get to know your partner. When love bombing occurs, often labels such as “soulmate”, “their person,” or “their other half” are applied early in the relationship. While it may feel validating to be considered as an important figure in their lives, it could be a cause for concern if you have not known them very long, or if you feel uncomfortable. Even being told “I love you” within a couple of weeks of starting a relationship can be a red flag. If you feel unsettled about how fast you’re moving, it may be time to speak with your partner.

"I even love saying the words, “I love you”."

Sign #2: Exaggerated Compliments Compliments are a great way to show that you’re interested in each other. It is not unusual to exchange compliments in a relationship, especially as you are getting to know one another. However, if the comments your partner is making seem over-the-top, it could be another sign of love bombing, especially if they make you feel uneasy. Here are some examples: “My prayers have been answered now that I have you in my life.” “I feel like you were created just for me.” “I can’t imagine finding anyone more perfect than you.” “My life would be nothing without you.” These types of comments can feel overwhelming, and if you are still getting to know them, it may come across as grandiose. A gut check with yourself may be helpful to decide if you are comfortable with these types of statements. If they do not feel right to you, try to address these feelings with your partner. If possible, discuss creating boundaries that work for both of you.

"Wanting to know everything about you, but wanting to die because it can’t come true."

"I suck at pretending to smile- But see! I feel great because of you!"

"The things that I only want to say to you, and the things that I want from you is love."

Is Love Enough? But the truth is, love isn’t always enough of a reason to stay in a relationship. Don’t get us wrong: loving someone, or caring deeply for them, is a wonderful thing, but it’s a feeling that can also make a relationship complicated. We hear from many people who tell us about unhealthy behaviors or feeling unhappy in a relationship but say that they still love their partners. It’s very possible to have feelings of love for someone even if they are mistreating you. It’s important to recognize that love is just one part of a whole. There are a few other crucial ingredients to having a solid, healthy relationship.

"We fought sometimes, I was happy to get hurt. Let’s have matching pain, this sickness is pretty bad."

"Saying I love you but doing what I did, I know I have no right, crossed and covered in sin. My love, it scored an own goal, destroyed my love and me with its weight. Tell me, oh tell me why, can’t I just do it right."

Love is (Un)Dead 5:03 five minutes and three seconds in.

What I saw was... just you having fun. I'm sure you were in love. Your feelings of bliss were conveyed to me as well. Right? It was really fun..! Did it make you want to fall in love?

I was happy, I had fun, I wanted, all I did-

Love is (Un)Dead 4:31 four minutes and thirty-one seconds in.

Was love someone.

Meanwhile each time this guys feelings are alluded to.

What do you think? I know it's not the type of question you want to be asked.

Ring ring, I’m calling you in the middle of the night. Forcing you to wake up, and I say “Good Morning!”. But I fall asleep before you, I really feel bad you know? We can both feel lonely sometimes, but wonder if you’ll get angry soon.

This adorable, earnest, sincere ♥ Is bleeding, wailing, this is the end- What you trampled is my, “This is how to be in love with you”

I don’t need anyone else, as long as I have you I could do anything as long as you smiled, I actually believed that. The happiness we tightly bound up and suffocated, is no longer here.

If I could see you again, I wonder, what would I say to you and how?

Non-communicative. When problems arise, you fight or you don’t discuss them at all.

"We fought sometimes, I was happy to get hurt. Let’s have matching pain, this sickness is pretty bad."

"Even when I test you, even the times we do the breakup ritual."

Communicates harmfully. Your partner communicates or in a way that is hurtful, threatening, insulting, or demeaning.

Do you really think you know what love is?

My emotions are out of control, that’s inconvenient? I don’t care! Tell me, oh tell me why, won’t you just accept me?"

On to the birthday girl. This is the third time this trial Kotoko has been shown her actions had no impact on the prisoners or their behaviors. From Mikoto walking up to her as though nothing happened on her last birthday,

22/12/15 (Kotoko’s Birthday)

Mikoto: Ah, Koto-chan. It’s been a while. Both of us have kinda split off from the group, but how’ve things been? A lot’s happened, but for now let’s try to get along. I mean, it’s your birthday today, right? I got the feeling nobody else was going to do anything, so I came to celebrate.

Kotoko: ……how carefree. It doesn’t matter, a villain like you won’t be forgiven next time either. And when that time comes, it’ll be the end for you. I’ll make sure of it myself.

Mikoto: Ahh?? Just try and do it, you nutjob. I’ll crush anyone who hurts me…… You’re gonna be totally beaten at your own game……!

Kotoko: Hm. The border between the two is getting a lot vaguer. Your entire existence is a crime. And I will see you’re punished for it. That is what Milgram, and Es, and I have chosen.

To Haruka approaching her despite the big deal Shidou and Kazui were making about negotiating a ceasefire with her.

23/12/15 (Kotoko’s Birthday)

Haruka: ……please, don’t tell anyone. And also, please, don’t get involved. All I can do, is ask, you……

Kotoko: ––Fufu, fufufufufu. That’s a crazy thing to be thinking. Honestly, it’s weird. But I don’t hate it. If only all the wrongdoers were like you.

Haruka: No…… that’s wrong…… That’s not, why I’m doing, this…… This, isn’t for me…… I have to protect…… so, Kotoko-san…… please……

Kotoko: Eh? Ah, yeah, yeah. Well, I promise I won’t get in your way. Honestly, if I could, I’d love to do it myself, but I’ll step back this time. As for what happens next…… I wonder. It depends on Es.

To Mu going up to her on her own birthday just to tell her off,

24/07/05 (Mu’s Birthday)

Mu: You know, I think this is all your fault really. Everyone’s on edge because you lashed out. And because of that, nobody’s paying attention to me any more. It’s kinda boring. I don’t get it.

Kotoko: ……you went out of you way to say that to my face? Aren’t you scared of me? The next target of my fangs might be you.

Mu: Why? Kotoko-san, aren’t you punishing the bad guys? I didn’t do anything wrong. And anyway, fufu, you’re talking like you’re fine too. Aren’t you gonna be not forgiven too this time? What will you do then? Start biting yourself? Fufu, that’s hilarious. I want to watch.

Kotoko: ……you’re good at provoking people. I’ll pray that you won’t be forgiven this time. When that time comes, I’ll be sure to crush you.

All the way to the person she did the most harm to coming up to her without issue. Despite in Love is (Un)Dead Mahiru jumping at Es just touching her,

Mahiru! "...!! Stop it!" ...! " ...! A... Ah- I-I I'm sorry... ... If you touch me so suddenly, it makes me remember... How it hurt... And I get scared."

If you touch me suddenly guard that reminds me of getting hurt but going up to Kotoko the one who hurt me well that's totally fine. It's been long enough for me to get over the trauma of being jumped unprompted by her. In fact I'm not even upset or angry about that at all. I think she had her reasons.

I'm not holding a grudge because,

Q.06 Do you forgive Kotoko?

Mahiru: At the very least, I don’t blame her for it. She acted for the sake of an ideal she can’t concede on.

So of course she has no issue going up to Kotoko to wish her a happy birthday. All by herself. She's not afraid of what Kotoko could do even while she's having trouble moving about and receiving treatment for the injuries Kotoko gave her just last intermission. Because her and Kotoko are the same in that regard they both have something they can't concede on she understands her and just wants to wish her a happy birthday.

Meanwhile Kotoko expected Mahiru to complain about her behavior in the same way Mu had on her birthday this year.

She expected to be admonished. Not only because Mu did it but because she's guilty now. That's all she's been hearing. So, why would Mahiru be any different. Why wouldn't she be coming their to kick while she was already down?

Instead Mahiru came to wish her a happy birthday.

Because that's how insignificant Kotoko's behavior was to everyone else there. They have bigger concerns than her throwing fits and now that they know she will they can prepare for that. Mahiru isn't mad, she didn't change drastically, she didn't come here to go I see what I did in the past was wrong and understand why you reacted that way I'm sorry.

Just like Haruka, Mu, and Mikoto she's going on like normal.

It must be so grating for Kotoko to see just how insignificant her "justice" is to everyone else in this prison. Literally no one cares. She did all that to instill fear in the hopes of making them see how their actions were wrong to punish them for being evil and unjust. Yet here we are.

No one in the prison has changed drastically, they didn't learn anything from her abuse, and none of them seem to be afraid of or even remotely concerned with her anymore. It really seems like she's starting to realize the only thing she accomplished through her attacks is displaying how much of an idiot she is.

Just like Yuno said,

Q.09 What do you think about Kotoko’s attacks?

Yuno: Is she an idiot? Nothing’s going to change in the world if you just act out violently where everyone can see.

The people she beat up are now innocent. They've been acquitted given a slap on the wrist like all the bad guys she attacked in Harrow. While all the blame is back on her. Just like with the court case. It was easy to say it was self-defense at first but people kept looking into it statements got recanted and she began falling out of favor.

Possibly even getting kicked out of her university. Because people always want to see a bad person falling but they never want to feel like they caused it.

This may possibly be her worst case scenario. I mean all she wanted was to be drowning in the fact that she was right while everyone else here was wrong. Now as far as she knows they may all be innocent and the only person being told they're wrong here is her.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes I suppose but the least they could do is still be afraid of her, fear her authority as Es' helper, the idea that she did it once and could very well do it again. Nope. They simply don't care they're over it. They've moved on. Even the person she injured to the extent that she almost died isn't even afraid of her.

In fact it seems more like she feels bad for her. The only person to treat her as though she had any authority over trial two was Haruka and that was just so she wouldn't intervene with his plans. Everyone else has pretty much gone oh that's cute you think you have some power here.

They've treated her no different from them because to them she is no different in fact to some of them she's less than. Someone they'd never be friends with. Someone who just hasn't realized they're being taken advantage of yet. Someone pathetic who's only recourse will be beating themselves up once they're in the position they beat others for being in.

Then here's Mahiru offering yet another olive branch.

Just like Mikoto at the beginning of trial two who said I figured no one else would wish you happy birthday so I came to say it. That must be tough. No wonder the only way she could respond was by saying she was crazy. She must be crazy it's definitely not a clear example of her methods not working. Mahiru is just insane anyone else would fall in line or avoid her after being beat like that.

So, Mahiru must be uniquely terrible, stupid, or the punishment wasn't harsh enough. In the long run Kotoko may end up believing the punishments weren't harsh enough, that she shouldn't have held back due to trusting Es or not wanting to do too much too soon. Because that's how it is. People can't force each other to change no matter if they try to kindly or harshly.

The only time people change is when they are willing to. But it really does kind of seem like Mahiru is going to try to kill Kotoko as a way of paying Shidou back. Especially if he's been complaining about her to Mahiru as much as he has been to the audience.

Like it would not surprise me.

[youeverjustmarryabountyhunter]

Recently became obsessed with cowboy au's again so I did what any reasonable person would do and made a silly Clone Wars au for pure self indulgence.

Please enjoy my silly little headcannons and maybe one day I'll actually write the thing (I've said this several times before...but one day!)

•Usually with modern au's I try to justify why Jango has so many damn kids but not this time. The man just does okay? Also he's not attracted to women so like..who knows! My favorite plot point is Jango just has a bunch of kids and no one knows why and they just have to accept that

•Jango/Myles supremacy. They're married, thank you. Silas is their third wheel that's just always sorta there.

•Good dad Jango! Always good dad Jango. I just love him okay? It's like a little treat for myself.

•Ages are like...semi...cannon? For the clones the alphas are all adults, as are the commanders. After that, Rex, Kix, Jesse and whoever else I deem to be in that like age range- are 18/19/20. Domino squad, are teenagers. Tup, Dogma, Wooley, Comet are like..ranging from preteen's to 8. Boba is the baby at 3 years old. Don't ask me about Omega or the bad batch please I haven't decided what I'm doing with them yet, probably gonna make them Arla's kiddos like the other modern au of mine. These are also like..just a general guidelines of ages I haven't really fleshed anything out.

•Boba LOVES animals. It's a good thing they live on a farm. He just..befriends all of the animals even the ones that he isn't supposed to (raccoons) Jango nearly had a heart attack. Boba was fine though, just a little grumpy that Jango took him away from the raccoon.

•It's a miracle Boba knows how to walk because he's just constantly being carried/demanding to be carried. If he has the option to be in someone's arms he will be. Spoiled little thing. Honestly all of the Fett kids are probably spoiled, but they like to tease Boba about it cause he's the baby.

•Real talk though, I think Boba is a little sweety. He just loves his aliit(family) so much and wants to spend all his time with them.

•Mando'a is a language because I said so. Mandalorians are still a culture. That's just my go to for all modern au's tbh.

•Jaster is the best grandpa EVER. He's the reason they're all spoiled. Auntie Zam ALSO spoils them rotten. Uncle Bossk does as well it's just a lot less. Hondo...is Hondo let's be honest here. They're spoiled sure but Jango would really like to know WHERE Hondo got everything from (he would not like the answer)

•I haven't figured out how or anything but Codywan IS happening. Same with Blyla (is that Aayla and Bly's ship name?? Gonna pretend it is-)

•In the vain of keeping ages semi cannon Fennec is 19 and a farmhand 👌. She's like..not legally adopted but she might as well be. Jango's baby girl right there. Boba follows her around like a puppy and it only annoys her a little. She's definitely the reason he knows bad words let's be honest.

•I'm leaning towards most face tattoos are just birthmarks. As far as names go those are just their names. No one ever said Jango was good at naming things. Isn't there a comic in legends where they have a pet eel and it's name is just eel?

•Everything I know about 3 year olds comes from the times I have babysat actually 3 year olds and google. So in that spirit, Boba does have a paci in the art depicted below simple because I wanted to draw a pacifier- but Jango is also trying to ween him off it so he doesn't mess up his teeth.

This au has consumed me like..ugh I'm obsessed with it. There may or may not be a pinterest board just entirely dedicated to it. You don't understand how in love with this silly little au I am-

If you made it this far through the post- have some traditional art that may or may not get turned digital eventually! (There was one of Myles and Jango but I literally cannot decide on Myles hairstyle and couldn't erase it anymore for fear of ripping the paper so...)

Join me next time (maybe-) for when I inevitably think of more headcannons for this au.

In order: Jango and Boba, Jango braiding Fennec's hair, and Cody!

20 Questions for Fic Writers!

Thank you for the tag @hyperions-light! Not sure who else has already been tagged, but I'll go for @miladydewintcr @teine-mallaichte @rookgallustroublesomehousehimbo @adainesjacket

1) How many works do you have on AO3?

29! Should probably be more, given the number of snippets I've posted on Tumblr that I think would make solid one shots, but I'm still trying to decide which ones are good enough to upload...

2) What’s your total AO3 word count?

477,628 words which is... honestly way more than I expected, especially as it doesn't include all my Tumblr fic which is now at about 90,000 words...

3) What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

life 2.0 (Wolf 359), what stays and what fades away (Grishaverse), something enchanting, something deadly (Wolf 359), something monstrous in your eyes (Penumbra Podcast), call it what you want (Wolf 359 AGAIN)

However many Dragon Age fics I have written lately, the stats still call me a Wolf 359 Girlie

4) What fandoms do you write for?

Currently Dragon Age, occasionally the Grishaverse/Shadow and Bone, historically Wolf 359 (my beloved). Occasionally I will get brainworms about a different fandom but it takes a lot of brainrot for me to actually get stuff written down.

5) Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Always! I treasure comments on my fic to the point where I refresh my email inbox after posting a new chapter in search of Comment! I also try to leave comments on all the fics I read, because I know how much it means when I get them. <3

6) What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Either waiting for the world to end or all the shattering stars, which isn't exactly surprising - they're both pretty much the same theme (Angsty Mind Control) focussed on two different pairs of characters.

7) What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

If we're not counting pure fluff, probably merry solstice (please don't call), which is at its heart, a holiday romance despite the angst. Pretty much everyone gets to live happily ever after (and they all kiss).

8) Do you get hate on fics?

It hasn't happened so far, and if it did, I would probably cry and then block someone. Fortunately up to now my ship and fandom preferences haven't lined up with anyone's poor little meow meows, but I'm a little nervous for when that day comes...

9) Do you write smut?

I have Attempted Smut, in the Solsticeverse codas a spy in the house of your love. I will probably try again eventually, but it's almost as hard to write as a good fight scene, lol.

10) Do you write crossovers?

Unless you include Daemon AUs, which I love, not really? I tend to like settings where the characters absolutely belong there, so it's hard to come up with crossovers that grip me enough to write them.

11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not yet, as far as I know.

12) Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but it would be an honour.

13) Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

All the time! It's how my beloved @adainesjacket and I got together. <3

14) What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Cannot believe you would limit me to one, but I will try and take my picks from fandoms I actually write for!

Dragon Age - Morrigan/F!Warden

Grishaverse - David Kostyk/Genya Safin

Wolf 359 - Renee Minkowski/Isabel Lovelace

15) What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Ugh this feels like a jinx but maybe the sequel to What Stays and What Fades Away... I'm working on it, I swear, but then Dragon Age happened...

16) What are your writing strengths?

Based on my fic history? Angst and hurt/comfort, probably, along with childhood friendships.

17) What are your writing weaknesses?

FIGHT SCENES (also sex scenes). Anything involving choreography and sentences that can't run on for an hour.

18) Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

I love it! I'm bad at it, but I love it.

19) First fandom you wrote for?

So this is way back in the annals of history and will not be uncovered, but my first ever fics were for a series called The Sisters Grimm, when I was about 12.

20) Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

Cannot believe you're asking me to pick my favourite child, but probably something enchanting, something deadly, the first thing I wrote with my wife, and a huge part of how we fell in love. <3

If I can cheekily add solo fics, it's the kick inside, obviously.

Nein Again music for episode 11! Lots of songs this time, especially from World of Warcraft.

I'm pretty sure the first few songs were Skyrim music. At about 18:50, Matt then plays the World of Warcraft theme for Thunderbrew Inn, which is available at the timestamp below. There's other tavern music in the same compilation, which is useful because several of them play back to back.

Immediately afterwards, the theme for the Salty Sailor plays. It's got that piratey bounce to it. Next is the Lion's Pride Inn. The creepy music when Jester asks Molly what they should do is the Gallow's End theme. Once the Nein reach the Invulernable Vagrant, Grunt's Place plays. Next is the Pig and Whistle, which features a lot of dancing patrons in the game, then the Scarlet Raven, which is much more somber, before Gallow's End plays again.

At about 54:50, when we switch to Jester and Caleb trying to get into the Tri-Spires, Matt plays Kaer Morhen for a more refined mood.

At about 1:25:18, When No Man Has Gone Before begins as Caleb shows Beau and Jester his bread mittens trick.

At about 2:10:38, Matt starts up Another Round for Everyone when he starts describing Courting of the Crick to Beau.

Right after that, Lion's Pride (from the WoW link) plays again. Grunt's Place is next.

At about 2:24:05, Matt plays Family Matters, which we haven't heard since the Trostenwald mystery. It's got those dramatic gasps and haunting strings.

At 2:31:50, just after Ulog says the High Richter put his wife in prison, Emhyr var Emreis begins. It's a great backdrop for discussing corruption in the empire.

I believe Matt also mixed in some themes from Azuremyst Isle in WoW throughout this conversation. The link below is a compilation, but the woodwind motif is pretty recognizable. (I think it's an oboe?) It's great moody music to play in the background. (If anyone is wondering, these are the core Draenei themes, which are WoW's spacegoat version of tieflings. Spacegoat is not an exaggeration: they have goat legs and they're from space. They're also the same race as the man'ari eredar, which are devils, kind of. It's weird.)

At about 2:38:50, Matt switches to Forest Day 2 from the Redridge Mountains set. I set the timestamp to that theme, but it begins at 4:06 if you have to manually choose the time. This same theme plays in several other regions, but I think this set is best for the mood if you're looking for similar songs.

At 2:42:28, Matt switches to the WoW tavern music again (first link above), beginning with Deepwater. Next is Stonefire, then the Slaughtered Lamb. Deepwater plays again at about 2:53:22.

The Azuremyst Isle themes kick in again around 3:00:45. Then we're back to Redridge Mountains at about 3:08:35.

Then we're back to tavern music with Thunderbrew at about 3:11:45. Next is Lion's Pride, then Shady Rest.

Matt then switches to some WoW combat music at about 3:19:05. I couldn't identify it for certain, but it might have been from Molton Core (which Matt has used previously). Around 3:20:15, Matt briefly switches to City of Intrigues from Witcher III for some tense combat while the Nein break into the sewer gate.

At 3:25:49, the Forest Day 1 theme from the Redridge Mountains set plays.

At about 3:41:00, Matt plays Beauclair at Night, an unreleased track from the Blood and Wine DLC for Witcher III.

Lion's Pride (see the first link) plays yet again at about 3:45:50. I guess Matt decided to add it into the playlist a few extra times since so many of the cast expressed that they liked it in the last episode. However, Matt cuts it short at about 3:49:39 to play Scarlet Raven when the scene shifts to Ulog and Dolan, followed by a song I couldn't ID, then Stonefire, and the Salty Sailor.

Finally, at 3:59:40, Matt replays Another Round for Everyone from Witcher III, and the episode ends with Gallow's End.

20 Question for Fic Writers

No one tagged me, but I saw the amazingly talented @anorlondo00 do it and decided I wanted to before bed, so here we are XD

❤️

1) how many works do you have on ao3?

73

2) what's your total ao3 word count?

981,925

3) what are your top five fics by kudos?

Birds of a Feather - Marco/Reader Quicksand - Sir Crocodile/Reader Some Direction - Zoro/Reader Forget me Not - A collection of character/Reader drabbles playing with the amnesia trope Young Lady - Rayleigh/Reader

4) what fandoms do you write for?

Just One Piece, I don't see that changing anytime soon ^_^

5) do you respond to comments? why or why not?

I try to respond to every comment I get. Sometimes though I don't know what to say ^^;; But comments make my day, so I try to make sure people know that they're appreciated.

6) what's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Burned - Sabo x Reader and I was trying to be as heart wrenchingly painful as possible. >.> I'm not really good at angst, I always feel bad and want to make sure the ending is good ^^;

7) what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Probably Some Direction? Maybe Birds of Feather.

8) do you get hate on fics?

Eh, not really. I'm pretty solid about tagging them and what not, and I'm pretty vocal that if you walk yourself in, you can walk yourself out. But 99 out of 100 people are pretty chill.

9) do you write smut?

Oh absolutely. <3

10) do you write crossovers?

No, but I haven't really tried either.

11) have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not so far as I know.

12) have you ever had a fic translated?

If I have, someone just went and did it without telling me, but I don't really think people are chomping at the bit to read my stuff anyway XD

13) have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Not as yet, but I'm open to it with the right folks.

14) what's your all time favorite ship?

xD It's an OC ship, but I gotta be honest (sorry @mew-ya ! ) KataMaren is my OTP. Katakuri/Maren is just sublime, and Mew's amazing - the passion pulls you right in -^_^- <3 If I have to pick a full canon/canon... augh, I love so many... Probably Curly Dadan/Kokoro - I put 'em together in one of my fics and they've grown on me. I hope they're happy together XD

15) what's the wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I have a couple fics fighting me on how I'll end them, but I'll get there. Heart of Gold most notoriously. Like I know what I want to do, but my passion for writing Law long-form is on fumes, and while I want to wrap it up, I don't want to just rush it out the door either.

16) what are your writing strengths?

Banter, so I've been told ^_^

17) what are your writing weaknesses?

Too many wips - and I just mean I get slowed down a little bit cause I need re-read sometimes so I don't get wires crossed, but if I don't have enough wips I can't really focus. I think I'm starting this year with like 17 of them, and despite starting Two New Ones tomorrow I hope I end the year with like... 9. Let me get under double digits ^^;

18) thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Gods, I barely fucking know English. I am not talented in this way and I haven't the time to cultivate that skill either. 🥺

19) first fandom you wrote for?

According to a ff.net account I haven't touched in 15 years, that would be Inuyasha.

20) favourite fic you've ever written?

Hmmm... I'd have to say Family Ties, because it was the first One Piece fic, and the first x reader fic I've written. It's responsible for breaking 10 years and change of not writing at all, and it was the stepping stone that led me to finding most of the community I have now. I can't believe it was like October 2022 and here I am, completely hooked.

Open tag - tag me so I don't miss it if you decide to do it! \o/

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

31 (but 24 are Shades of Romance before I understood how a series works lol)

So 8?

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

197,990 👀 woah (I refuse to slow down)

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

--1. The Wrong Side of the Bed? Or is it the Right?

--2. Chapter 1 of Shades of Romance (I will not list others)

--3. The Story that's Told Between the Lines

--4. Forlorn & Facinorous with a Future as Fervent & Fond

--5. Hop-eration Successful (a gift fic for @parkouringrabbit during a secret Valentine exchange)

4. What fandoms do you write for?

BG3

(I haven't branched out yet lol 🙃)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Heck yes! I love seeing comments. They fuel my typing hands. 🔥

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Unpublished imma say (Will You Be My) Judge, Jury, and Executioner (or I Will Be)

Which is still being worked on, assuming I can stand the angst

Beyond that I'm not sure what's the angstiest. Maybe 'You are My Sunshine' the darkest part of Shades of Romance lol?

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Shades of Romance, duh. No spoilers, but it's pretty happy. Most of mine are. Probably all of them. I can't help it 😭 I want all my ships to be happy, okay?

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I've gotten spam once but no hate I don't think. Everyone's pretty nice which is awesome. XD

9. Do you write smut?

Yes. I got all nervous the first time deciding what word to use for *things*, but I don't mind as much. But showing it to my friends or husband makes me blush even though I let strangers read it hahaha

10. Do you write crossovers?

I haven't, but I planned like a retelling with a twist if that counts (Cinderella😀, Beauty and the Beast, and The Princess Bride but all BG3)

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of. Don't think I'm that popular.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope, but that would be super cool.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I've done RPs but that's it, so not really

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

It used to be Wrightworth, but how I'm a BIG bloodweaver. But I will ship most of BG3 with one another, they're just my favorite. 👉🏼👈🏼

15. What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I won't name drop or I might curse myself hahahaha

Nah, I want to finish them all. I have 11 ongoing WIPs and 40+ in a folder.

Maybe the one that will take the longest? Cobalt and Crimson. I love that fic but it's an undertaking. I want a companion piece, I want illustrations for each chapter, you know. It's a whole thing. My side blog is heavily themed with lines from that fic. I consider it the spine of my work. Shades of Romance was the feet to help it stand but Cobalt and Crimson holds it all up. I started it like 2 months after Shades and I've only got 60,000 words. Trust me, it's not enough.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I can type a lot in one day, and I've gotten a few comments saying I do dialogue well.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Run on sentences.

I describe too much probably.

And most importantly, getting my ADHD brain to focus.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

I mean I don't trust Google translate much so maybe if I had someone else double check I could use a line or two. Made up languages are fine like Elven though.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

- Naruto way back in high school. I don't wanna talk about that lol. It was not great lmao

20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

That's a hard one.

Unpublished? Cobalt and Crimson hands down. I talk about it endlessly to my husband haha.

Published? I think Shades of Romance will always be my baby though I'm so proud of Wrong Side of the Bed for the kudo count that blows me away

20 Questions for fic writers

Tagged by the ever lovely @scknight05

1-How many works do you have on ao3?

- Only 18 in total. 6 for Buddie.

2-What’s your total ao3 word count?

- 78,631

3-What fandoms do you write for?

Currently just for 911. BTS. I wrote for some anime fandoms back in the days of ffnet.

4-Top 5 fics by kudos?

♡ They're all Buddie fics!

This is Our Happily Ever After

I’ll rearrange the letters of your name to spell love

Lies written in ink (can be facts too)

This is my devotion (you are my prayer)

Traces of your love under my skin

5-Do you respond to comments?

Absolutely. Might take some time but I love getting comments and replying to each one of them 🥺

6-What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

None (yet?). I don't like writing angsty endings. Such a huge sucker for happy endings!

7-What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

All of them? 😂 But I guess, without spoiling the ending, this probably counts as the happiest so far.

I’ll rearrange the letters of your name to spell love

8-Do you get hate on your fics?

Not in this fandom no. (I've only received hate once, ever)

9-Do you write smut?

Yes. I've written drabbles but never a full fic because smut fics aren't my thing. I'm not very good at it because I tend to lose patience very fast 😂.

10-Craziest crossover?

None. I've never written crossovers. Generally not a fan of it. But in the future, who knows?

11-Have you ever had a fic stolen?

None that I'm aware of so far. I'm not known enough for this to happen 😂

12-Have you ever had a fic translated?

Someone offered to translate one with credits but I don't think it was ever posted 😂

13-Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Not anything published. I'd love to try once but I'm not sure how that'd work.

14-All time favorite ship?

As someone who can never decide on anything this is the worst question you can ask me 😂. I love too many. Buddie is definitely one of the top ones along with Madney, Henren and Bathena. Others include Merthur, Cherik, Kagakuro, Makoharu, Root/Shaw, Morgwen, Stony, WinterFalcon, McDanno, SNS, WeiLan, Edwin, Stormpilot, TouYuu (my babies), KuroFei.

15-What’s a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

So far none.

16-What are your writing strengths?

Writing fluff probably; I've been told I write a lot of feels inducing fluff? 😂. I really love writing about gentle small acts of love between characters. Just them taking care of each other. Sappy stuff.

17-What are your writing weaknesses?

Time management and actually getting to the writing part 💀. My writing is very muse based, I can't just sit down and start writing like some people. It's truly a struggle 😭

18-Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

Never written any in mine. Read plenty and I'm fine with it. It's only slightly frustrating when the translation is not included because it takes me out of the story when I'm trying to read and translate at the same time.

19-First fandom you wrote in?

Before I even knew what fanfiction was, I had multiple notebooks glued together with the story of an OC in the X-men Evolution universe 😂. The officially published one is either Bleach or Naruto, can't remember.

20-Favorite fic you’ve written?

Listen, I really kind of love all of them. Not because they're good or whatever but because I wrote them you know. Like, I really created something. Every fic good or bad has a little piece of my soul in it so I just love all of them 🥺

And which one I like best differs from moment to moment. Currently it's probably Lies written in ink (can be facts too) because it was a bit of a different writing style for me.

Tagging: @lemotmo @eddiediazismyhusband if you both haven't done this yet. And anyone else who wants to join please do and tag me so that I can read it 🫶🏽.

[acircusfullofdemons]

Questions: 1,, 4,, 18,, 19,, 20 for the Para Motivation Ask Meme please !! (ෆ ᴗ͈ ω ᴗ͈ ෆ) I’’d like to request Neil and Ozzie,, but you can do the paras you’’ve most recently been daydreaming about if you’’d like !! ( ◉ ω ◉ )

[ ASK GAME ] || (I'm pretty sure you meant the para relationship ask game lol) Funnily enough Neil & Ozzie WERE the last paras I daydreamed about!! They were doing kinky sex while I was working and uhm I think Neil might be ace?? We'll get back to that at some point. But I'm also gonna do Alice from @fractured-fables since I drew her earlier & also Emory bc there's now a sign at work that looks SO MUCH LIKE HIM it makes me loose my mind.

1.) What’s their relationship with their parents like? Is there one parent they’re closer too than the other? If your was raised by a different caretaker, what is their relationship like, and how does your para feel about the absence of their parents in their life?

Neil: Technically doesn't have parents as he was treated as an experiment since the minute he was born. However, his father was a scientist at Arcaynis (the organization that's experimenting on people). He willingly subjected his own son to horrific experiments, but thankfully(??) Neil didn't know this. He doesn't really have any parental figures, and kinda wished he did. Maybe he wouldn't be so fucked up if someone held him a little bit as a kid.

Ozzie: His father was very abusive, but thankfully his momma was always ready to defend him. He is a very big momma's boy and yknow, I think they still talk sometimes. He probably sent her some of the money he stole when he was a villain.

Alice: Does not get along with her parents. Well. Its complicated. She loves them, they love her, but they don't really "get" her, if you catch my drift?? Objectively speaking, they're fine parents, just probably not the best for Alice. HOWEVER, Phineas becomes like her second dad/uncle/older brother figure in Wonderland, and those two understand each other SO WELL. Funnily enough, they actually hated each other when they first met! Both for good reasons but nowadays you'd never know. Also did you know some people ship Alice & Hatter romantically??? They are Wrong. So very wrong thats her dad!!!

Emory: His "backstory" gives him parents, but they're also dead and desperately need to be buried bc they're rotting corpses are stinking up the house. He doesn't really consider them his "parents", anyway. Technically, he doesn't have any, and he's perfectly fine with that. Still, Theia likes to call him her son sometimes which is kinda funny so he allows it and humors her by occasionally referring to her as his mother.

4.) Who was your para’s childhood best friend? When and how did they meet? Are they still friends?

Neil: Dahlia!! She was the daughter of another scientist at Arcaynis, but not an experiment. Neil loved her, she was quite literally the ONLY good thing in his life. Dahlia wasn't supposed to sneak into wherever Neil was being kept, but she was curious. And stubborn, because she kept coming back almost every day! Eventually, she was encouraged to interact with Neil to observe how he reacted to certain stimuli. Unfortunately, he accidentally killed her while he was escaping Arcaynis. He often wonders what it'd be like if she lived — would she be proud? He almost idolizes and romanticizes her/her existence. It's kinda creepy.

Ozzie: Ozzie was a very shy, soft spoken, and introverted kid. He was bullied a lot for being a teachers pet / being smart. It was rough, but Nora Osborn took pity on him and helped Ozzie gain some confidence during high school! I have not introduced her yet (bc I. keep forgetting to) but Nora is Ozzie's wife! Canonically she had roughly 8 minutes of screen time and died but I haven't fully decided on what I wanna do with her in MaaC yet. But she does exist, and Ozzie loves her dearly.

Alice: Her best friends are Dorothy and Wendy!!! They've been bffs for varying years, but all met during early childhood. I think they all just met on the playground one day, yknow how little kids are lol. And yes, they're still friends today! I call them the "iskeai girls" bc they all get transported to other worlds lol.

Emory: OK so technically Emory never had a "childhood", he's an ageless being that sort of just...exists. but uhm I guess we can say Ketrill?? Ketrill was created by Theia so they spent a lot of time together. They're kinda like brothers.

18.) How important are your para’s various relationships to them? Do they cherish the people closest to them? Does their support system keep them going? How about strangers? What are their feelings about humanity as a whole? Is it easier for them to live those closest to them vs humanity as a whole?

Neil: EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. He has never had friends/family/ANYTHING before escaping Arcaynis, so he'll cling to anything he can stick his claws in. He learns to balance different relationships (as well as the types of relationships) as time goes on with the help of those around him, but by GOD was he, uh, a bit of an obsessive stalker towards practically anyone he met the first few years of living in society. As for humanity? It sucks. Shut that shit down.

Ozzie: Oohh, he's a sappy mother motherfucker that loves his friends and probably believed in the power of friendship when he was younger (he still kinda does sshhh). He has mixed views on humanity but like, he's human too so he doesn't want it totally gone.

Alice: Depends on the person tbh. Earth? Forget them tbh. Wonderland? THAT'S HER FAMILY!!! Yes all of Wonderland is her family now lol that's her HOME. She loves it there and genuinely considers it her home, she'd live there always if given the option. She thinks humanity on earth sucks but Wonderlandians got smth going on trust her on that.

Emory: So looking at it now I think Emory is only close to like, 5 people total. That's it. I don't know if he'd consider them a "friend group" or a "support system" but he does care for them, which is saying something, as he doesn't really get close to people. I don't think he really has an opinion on humanity. Like it exists. That's it. He doesn't really...care??

19.) How does your para realize they care about someone? Is it instantaneous, or a slow realization? Are they dense, or maybe realize once it’s too late that there was something there?

Neil: He's...a little dense. To everyone else, it's so fucking obviously because he's trailing after the person like a lost puppy and is borderline obsessed with them. But he probably won't realize how much they mean until someone either points it out or he looses that person.

Ozzie: It creeps up on him. He knows he cares about someone, its the level/extent of it that surprises him! Like he thought Neil was just a good ally/coworker until something innocuous happened, like maybe he saw the other sleeping and then BAM! Head over heels in love. Incredible, really.

Alice: I feel like Alice is similar to Ozzie, she knows she cares about those around her, I guess sometimes she just forgets HOW much she cares. Or sometimes its hard to care, with all the shit they've been through/have going on. She tries her best to make sure those she loves feel appreciated, though.

Emory: Imma be honest...he doesn't get "close" to people. He's an Interdimensional Demonic Cat, The Librarian. He records everything, narrates all of it. So getting close to those he is observing...he doesn't like it. He was close to Delilah, and she died. He was a little too involved with False Moon, and they're pretty traumatized. By FF/LIW he's kinda keeping his distance. Anyway! He knows pretty quickly when he genuinely cares about someone and not solely because he wants the "story" to continue. And he will deny it until the end of time, because God forbid a kitty experience love!!

20.) How does your para expresses their feelings of care/love to others? What’s their love language (giving and receiving!)

Neil: Gift giving!! He gives very weird gifts, though. Honestly he's kinda like a cat bringing its owner dead animals?? Like uh thanks buddy but what am I supposed to do with this exactly. He very much likes receiving physical contact. Hold him. Please.

Ozzie: Quality time!! He likes taking people out to museums and aquariums, those type of places, and seeing what they point out. He also likes receiving quality time. Literally all you gotta do is exist in the same room as him he is so easy to please.

Alice: Acts of service!! She'll get your groceries! She'll paint your roses! She'll die for you! Literally!! She likes receiving words of affirmation. Tell her she's doing good. Please. Don't actually she'll break down and sob.

Emory: Physical contact. I feel like that's a typical/standard cat answer. Yes he does express love like an actual cat would. He likes receiving quality time. Just spend some time in his library, he'll appreciate it a lot.

20 questions for fic writers

Thanks for the tag @imdamagecontrol

1. how many works do you have on ao3?

31 so far

2. what's your total ao3 word count?

441,751

3. what fandoms do you write for?

The wretched Naruto (in a secret account no one will ever find), Star Wars (I was there, I'm not), Harry Potter: Dramione (I was there, I'm not), Wolfstar and Jegulus (I was there and I left but apparently I'm back now?), Attack on Titan (my current love interest)

4. what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Collars and Croissants with @solmussa

Runaway Groom

The Brew 

Goldeneye

Le Mange Dieu et le Dévoreur de Mondes with @greenvlvetcouch 

5. do you respond to comments? why or why not?

Not really. I will sometimes, but unless it's a question, then I don't really see the need for it. My "thank you" is the fic itself, so repeating it doesn't really make much sense. But if it's a particularly fun or interesting one, who knows.

6. what is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Heartless wasn't meant to be that ending at all, but I'm not mad.

7. what's a fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Your maker maybe? I don't really do endings, so a lot of it is up to the reader to decide what'll happen for them. I gave you their personalities and a slice of their lives, what do you think is gonna happen for them now?

8. do you get hate on fics?

I haven't yet.

9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?

Sure, it's a fun outlet, like writing science-fiction. I have to be in the right mood for it, but it does tends to happen.

10. do you write crossovers? what's the craziest one you've written?

I've been thinking about a Harry Potter / Attack on Titan crossover but nothing concrete yet. @greenvlvetcouch keep and eye out on our Playground.

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

A few are available in Russian.

13. have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yep, it's always a fun ride.

14. what's your all-time favorite ship?

Naruto/Sasuke, only because I stuck with them for 10 years when I was younger. They've got a special place in my heart even if I don't read them anymore.

15. what's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

All the Graveyard Fics in my Notion page that have been started and unfinished. And a few collabs I have with a few people that are on hiatus but might never see the light of day. I am planning to finish the Dramione Echoes in Eternity in the coming months.

16. what are your writing strengths?

Metaphors and atmospheric juju.

17. what are your writing weaknesses?

Large casts and descriptions of shit. I'll give you what you need to know, you figure the rest out babe. I have been working on making it a little more descriptive recently, but I'm more about the atmosphere than the place they're at.

18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Unless it's necessary, no. And if it's done, it has to be done well. Make sense for my bilingual brain. But I'll never stop reading a fic just cuz it has these elements, unless they're completely over-played.

19. first fandom you wrote for?

Naruto.

20. favorite fic you've written?

Heartless

OP said we could do any ask games as a list if we don't usually get asks so here we go for Caleb:

1.gender fluid

2.they don't label them very much, only if it's distinctly male or female, it's often male, sometimes female, and the rest of the time it's something!

3.see above

4. They use they them and he him all the time but she her only when feeling female, at least for now, as they grow comfortable in their femininity this will likely change.

5. They're just learning what they like so they prefer people switch as they see fit

6. Nope, just Caleb, they have only known for a few weeks and are still coming to terms with it. To be fair, they found out because they're spiderman now, it's been a lot

7. They fluctuate

8. When their body started changing with their mind, they thought what they experienced was normal before that until their trans boyfriend explained that Nope that's gender fluid

9. When they desperately wanted to dress femininely but didn't want to be perceived as a feminine guy.

10. Just to their partner so far, they're really only just realizing.

11. Not really considering their body fluctuates for them now and so they just use the labels that they feel best fits their body in that exact moment.

12. Very strongly identifies as male still and currently that's still their dominant gender.

13. They still identify as just multisexual, they don't know nor care if they're actually bi, Pam, Omni, whatever, they like people

14. It really depends unless they're talking about becoming spider man, then it's a strictly he/him man male type situation

15. I think they'd like girlboy but IDK about any others

16. They really like ma'am, they prefer Mx. ATM they're really vibing with femme honorifics overall

17. They're apparently going to have to as Spider Silk since that suit hides NOTHING. (Which has caused problems when he's more masculine presenting and fighting Spiderman) but beyond that they are still deciding

18.no need!

19. Figure out what being gender fluid even looks like for themself and figuring out how to incorporate that into how they dress and how they fight.

20. See above

21. They are learning with hair makeup and clothes, they are still a little uncomfortable in women's clothes because they're scared of judgment though.

22. Currently they mostly identify with male, but they're pretty sure that they'll start experiencing other genders more often now that they're paying attention (and you know, the whole body changing thing)

23. For the moment they want them to not notice. At least not until they figure it out themself.

24. They basically live in our society so not really, and they're already dealing with enough being a new super!

25. Oh absolutely not, they barely know any other queer people

26. Their few friends will be supportive....if she sees them again considering they all think she's dead.... But the people they live with are cool!

27. They very much experience through the rigid colonized lens of male, female, both, and neither. And they believe that these are sort of the only options that they personally have even though they're aware of other gender identities.

28. Yes. Mainly it makes her want to present as male 24/7, especially since she grew up with a very misogynistic and transphobic family.

29. Luckily they're living in a more modern world and exploration is more allowed, especially in a big city instead of a small town, but there's a lot of internal blockage from internalized transphobia, especially transmisogyny and believing that they'll always be seen as male either way.

30. They stay within their rigid systems of gender so they're not always accepted genders, but they often are.

31. They haven't experienced it yet but they more often have to explain their body changing to people

32. They definitely are, especially as they learn self acceptance.

33. Oh you know, just rearranging organs, sometimes in the middle of sex. Also, it made for some interesting conversations before he was bitten by the spider and only once did they cry about it during sex.

34. Xe started figuring out xir gender at the same time that xe met xir boyfriend so it's been really important to xim to have him and have that space to explore xir gender with someone who kinda gets it.

35. VERY MUCH impacts it's job! People think it's multiple people sometimes because sometimes it has boobs and sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it has a noticeable bulge (not helped by the fact that in some versions it's into it's enemy) and sometimes it doesn't

36. They didn't discover their gender until after they left their family

37. Most of their friends don't know yet, but their friends at school end up being super cool with it, especially since they're mostly queer.

38. Their religion doesn't really have any impact for them right now.

39. Caleb is a singlet but they do have their alter ego of Spider Silk who is more in the public eye and often gets perceived as many different people.

40. They are Perisex

41. They've noticed they feel more femme or masc when paying attention to different fixations, or when they feel more/less organized their gender changes less/more

42. They love the ability to explore different parts of the self more freely

43. Accepting themself

44. They haven't been really public about their gender so they haven't experienced a lot.

45. Absolutely, which I feel like I've explored a decent amount in this.

46. Yes

47. They absolutely do, especially with their super self being so public

48. They're really struggling with just how odd it feels to them, especially with the internalized transphobia

49. A few weeks now

50. Nothing I can think of, thanks for reading 🩷🩵🩷🩵

50 Question Multigender OC Ask Game

Does your OC have multiple genders? Are you desperate to talk about them? Look no further for an excuse than this game! Fifty unique questions that encourage you to get to the root of your multigender character’s relationship with their gender, their society, and more! Remember to send an ask to the person you reblog it from to make sure everyone gets to play!

Which multigender identity is your OC? Do they have more than one? Nothing specific?

Which genders does your OC have? Do they label them all?

How would they personally describe each of their genders?

How many pronouns sets does your OC use? Do they correspond to a specific gender?

If they have multiple pronouns sets, do they like all of them to be used, or are they okay with people picking one?

Do they have multiple names? Do they correspond to a specific gender?

Do their genders fluctuate, or are they all their genders all the time?

How did they discover their multigender identity?

What was their first “hint” that they were multigender? Was it only obvious in retrospect?

Did they ever officially “come out” as multigender? To everyone at once, or a few people at a time?

Did it take them a long time to pick through which genders they resonated with?

Do they still identify with their assigned sex and/or gender at birth? How strongly versus their other genders?

How does their multigender identity impact their sexuality? Do they use multiple labels for it?

Do they prefer masculine (man, male, boy), feminine (woman, female, girl), or neutral (enby, enban, kid, person) terms to be referred to with? A combination? Something else entirely?

Do they use any “conflicting” or “contradictory” labels (cistrans, manwoman, girlboy, fagdyke, lesboy, turigirl, etc.)?

Which honorifics or polite titles do they prefer to be called (Mr./Sir, Ms./Ma’am, Mx., etc.)? None at all?

Do they plan to transition socially? In which ways?

Do they plan to transition medically? In which ways?

What’s their realistic “transition goal”?

If anything was possible, what would their ultimate transition goal be?

Do they present differently depending on which gender they’d like to be perceived as? Do they not care, and wear whatever they want?

Do they have genders that they identify with more than the others?

What do they want strangers to think about their gender? Do they care?

Is their society welcoming to multigender people?

Do they know many other multigender people?

Do they have a community that supports multigender people?

How has their culture influenced how they experience each of their genders?

Does their culture enforce a gender binary? How does that impact them as a multigender person?

Does their culture impose strict gender roles on people? How does that impact them as a multigender person?

Do they have genders that aren’t recognized at all by their society?

Do they often have to explain what being multigender means, or particular genders they have?

How does being multigender impact their professional life or career?

How has being multigender impacted their relationships with their family?

How has being multigender impacted their relationships with their friends?

Does their religion or other spiritual beliefs impact their multigender identity?

If they’re a system, how does that interact with their multigender identity?

If they’re intersex, how does that interact with their multigender identity?

If they’re neurodivergent in some way, how does that interact with their multigender identity?

What do they love most about being multigender?

What’s the most difficult part about being multigender for them?

Have they experienced transmultiphobia? (read about transmultiphobia, and its similarities to biphobia)

Have they internalized any transmultiphobia and/or transphobia that made it difficult for them to discover themself?

Are they determined to remain in the closet about their multigender identity?

Do they fear discrimination or rejection if they were to come out?

Are they not ready to accept their multigender identity yet? What’s keeping them from accepting it?

How long were they/have they been in denial about their multigender identity?

Wild card! Mention anything else you want!

hi again from kr anon - thank you for the greetings too!! they're very much appreciated 🥺❤️ and thankfully january went well enough for me, but i'm sorry to hear that about you - i hope you've fully recovered by now, but if not, i hope you continue to get better, and wishing you well in general 🫶🏼💕

anyway ever since your most recent reply and your reblogging some of the posts i linked, i became inspired and kinda went ham in looking for more build fanart and memes/shitposts on tumblr (+ twitter now too) that i thought you'd enjoy (ngl they're mostly ryusen-centric, but some involve other characters too, and just like before, they're all either non-spoilery or contain spoilers only up to the parts i know you've seen dw), and bc unfortunately i'm still not yet done formulating my full reply to your message + my overall review of build, i've decided to share these links in a separate batch of asks ahead instead 😅 so feel free to also like/reblog/retweet whichever ones you like best from here, whenever you want 👍🏼 [1/?]

i took that quiz a while back and got around 70%, which isn't too bad considering i'd only watched like the first half of build at that point and haven't seen any other toku even until now, and have also only watched like 3 bl dramas and not all of them were included here, though overall a lot of it was definitely lucky guessing and the others (both for the toku and bl ones) were stuff i became aware of through osmosis. anyway don't feel pressured about getting a high score though, it's all in good fun and i also wanted to let you see for yourself just how homoerotic toku can get to the point of often being indistinguishable from actual bls 😔 and on this note, you also mentioned in your last reply that kazumi/grease's actor (takeda kouhei) seemed familiar to you - the reason for that might be that you recognize him as one of the leads in old fashion cupcake, which was a pretty popular bl too from what i've heard? idk if you've ever watched it though (i haven't seen it myself, but i might in the future), but yeah that makes 3 main male actors in build part of the pipeline so far (insert even more jokes about "you can't spell build without bl" and heated drama between men here lmao) (and tbh i actually still have some additional posts and tweets on hand, but this is already getting very long and i don't want to overwhelm you even more than i probably already have so i'll just reserve them to share with you another time whgjtsfs) [12/?]

anyway, feel free to go ahead and already ramble about whatever new episodes you may have seen by now, even as i haven't finished writing my full response to your last message yet 👍🏼 especially since you last stopped at ep. 20 (whew what an episode to end on), so that means it's time for everyone's favorite build episode next... like i'm not kidding when i say almost everyone leaves ep. 21 with their brain chemistry fundamentally altered bc it's just that powerful 😭 so i'm really looking forward to seeing your reactions to it 😳 and hope you watch ep. 22 asap too bc it's a banger of a follow-up to 21 🫶🏼 (also now you're delving further into the parts showing who exactly the silly rabbit with a death wish is and just why he has one... hehe) djwjdhfs thanks, i'm so honored that you trust me to be your kr senpai 🙏🏼 and yes i'm done, but like i said earlier, i'm still in the process of organizing my thoughts and writing them down into a concrete summary so it might take a bit longer before i can send the next batch of messages to you. and oh i knew about tsukutabe/she loves to cook and she loves to eat and that it aired its first season like 2 years ago and that there was an upcoming second season, but i didn't realize it had started airing already :O i've been interested in it for a while and actually started reading the manga last year and liked it so far (but i wasn't able to continue past the first few chapters yet bc i got distracted by other media, including kr lol), so thanks for the reminder that i should pick the manga up again + start watching the drama at some point soon 👍🏼 and it's okay i understand, especially since both are good stories worth getting into :-) plus again, no pressure and take your time in watching, and hope you enjoy finishing build and the other shows!! 🥰 [13/13]

kr anon hi again!!!! first off thank u SO MUCH for all these links omgg so much fanart to look at i am so grateful.... 😭🙏 sorry in advance to everyone else for the rb/rt spree that is about to happen in like 10 mins tho-- also i took the quiz and got a 47% which. yeah i was Not ready for how gay those toku quotes got what the fuck.???? like i recognized maybe 5 of them from cm/odt/build/heartstopper but the rest girl... i was Struggling......i still have much to learn about the pipeline i see 👁👁 also also yeah i think thats where i recognize kazumis actor from?? i havent watched that show either but i got a rec for it way before so id seen the poster for it and yeah thats the one i rembered....the pipeline goes crazy what the hell

but also its been so hectic i literally havent had time to watch any further from where i left off last time ough ... literally just as i thought id have time after finishing tsukutabe i got pulled into watching another show by a friend so i think im gonna wait to finish that + cm anime first before getting back into build properly bc i rlly wanna Remember whats going on in the show instead of forgoring it all in the haze of the media consumption fdsfjkdsj,, but still if u wanna share anything else in the meanwhile or if u have ur review of the show pls do send them over id love to see/read!!! 👐

Thoughts on Audio findings

I originally had this typed up on phone but THAT got lost when I had to put it down in the middle of typing to do something because it needed my attention. Came back to it to find that my tumblr app decided to close the tab... so all that was lost. -angy rifter noises- So starting this over AGAIN... I realized I never typed up my thoughts and guess of what was going on in the audio files. I was functioning at 4 hours of sleep yesterday and I had things to do but I had promised to at least get those files out there for everyone. I rushed to get them out there that my brain dead, too tired to think properly self forgot to do the... you know thing of explaining what I thought of what I found. And for that I apologize, I'm sure some of you were curious of what I thought about them and provide a theory for it. And I will provide it here.

But I do want to get something clear, I know I missed a few things in my run around deciphering audio; like Echo's conversation with Chase. I know people burn for it but with my current dismal skill of Audacity and audio editing in general, I couldn't do anything to see if there was any actual words in there or it was just sounds that only Chase (currently for now) could understand and leave us to guess what the hell was being said. For all we know the sounds Echo gives are some kind of code, I don't know. I don't even have the basic understanding of editing or usage of Audacity to even begin to pick that apart. The there's the whispers of Anti's mental assault on Chase's psyche, there's so much going on in there I... couldn't even begin to know where to start on working with that. That's why I gave the full audio of the video in the files I provided in my previous post. Take a crack at it and share it. Heh, We all want to know! Now, I can provide what I heard with a few audio bits. I'm sorry for the wait! I apologize for the volume for the files, I forgot I was wearing a pair of headphones that have its own volume so I had like 2-3x the volume control... which led me to not really change the volume in the files... but I will add these to the google drive for download and you can fiddle with the volume. Though in hindsight, I think that's for the best; with my shitty audacity skills, I could have blown out people's ears. And that would be bad. At least this way, you can adjust them to your own liking without going deaf by some idiot like me. XD First off, starting at 11:13-11:16. This little timestamp holds this Anti whisper...

Originally, I thought it said, "You can't hide from me." (It probably still does) But upon further fiddling around to make Anti's voice clearer, my thoughts on what he says changed. It sounds to me like he says, "You can't help his fate." Followed by his eye. Interesting! Given the fact his eye flickers on the screen like that makes me believe he's talking to whomever is watching through the camera in Chase's room. Meaning Anti is well aware of someone else in the room, watching Chase like he's watching even though he hasn't even shown up yet. Very much talking to US, the viewers, (as well as possibly the other party. Haha, nudge nudge, wink wink. Assuming he even does know they're there. Don't know) since we're the ones hacking the joint to seek out Chase. (Then again when haven't we been meddling around look for the Egos? As well as look for Anti? Come on, you know we were all there for sights of them all. He knows this and it doesn't surprise him that we're here. In fact, he's enjoying this. (I am so sorry, Chase! We were trying to help you, I swear!)) Speaking of that other party! We're at the set of lines I was the most curious of. On the Day Anti decides to drop by for visit to the IRIS facility we get to hear THESE whispers. At 19:58 - 20:04 A lot going on in there huh? But what little you do hear is that someone else (or a group) are already here. Why they are here, we're not sure. But I'll give you some clearer audio files of that same timestamp. I know its a bit hard to hear some of the dialogue in there I don't know how to clean it up any better, sorry. But from what I was able to hear (and probably lost my mind in the abyss of Audacity) is : "You know we have a plan. We can't be here."

"We have/got to go"

"Stop being stupid!" * The one saying "We have/got to go" sounds a bit like Echo... (or the pitch is high, very likely the pitch is high) And the last line... I don't even know where to begin with that one. It sounded like, *"Stop being stupid" "Stop sounding stupid" or "Stop sending stuff". The last bit of that dialogue is just super distorted and I don't know how to fix it, I'm sorry. But of the three guesses to that one thing, I just chose the one that made more sense for the argument. Now is the version of the same time stamp where we only hear Anti's demonic screeching. Settle down there, eldritch boy.

It might not be anything of actual value but the way it sounds, to me at least, sounds like Anti is screeching Chase's name. Creepy. But with all of these together... we can somewhat get a picture here. Besides us, the viewers being here to see Chase and try to find a way to help him, there's another party that's also there, making their own plan. What the plan is... I don't know for sure but I have a guess. Whatever the case is the pair (I don't know if its just two guys, two guys and Echo, or one dude and Echo, working together. For now I'm thinking just the two guys here) are arguing over what to do. These other files are what sounds to be the other half of the pair, arguing back with their partner of what to do. (20:07-20:08, 20:09-20:10, 20:13-20:15, 20:18-20:18, 20:25-20:28)

"No! We are going for it." This one wants to deviate from the plan and do something else while they have the chance, much to their partner's annoyance. But one of them states, "We gotta go." In confusion the partner asks, "What did you see?" Instead of answering the question, they merely urge the other, "Go." They seem to be aware of something, "Whatever happens happens." Suddenly an alarm blares, red lights flashing all over the place as Chase figures that something is happening from Arin's mannerisms and urgency to move. Those very same alarms seem to surprise our other party! One of them exclaiming, "What?!" at the alarm system going on. From the sounds of... My guess is that they didn't see that one coming. (-cue Last Surprise from Persona 5- ...I'm sorry I had to.) Though there is one piece of the whispers I can probably point out at 20:53-20:55. It sounds like it says "He won't give up." I'm not entirely sure, so if anyone can figure that out, cool. And as Chase is dragged down the hall, kicking and screaming, begging to be released... we hear one last thing... before things go silent in that hallway. (21:09-21:11) Anti whispering softly, "This is your grave."

*~*~*~*~*

My Summarizing Thoughts :

So what I can gather from all this... is that the same time we were poking around IRIS' computer systems, there was another party at the facility. I don't know if they were imprisoned in there as well or had broken in on their own. They had a plan of their own that they were going to do but I guess our meddling with the systems changed things for them. I don't know if they're here for the Stone Tablet or somehow planned it to be there to collect Chase and escape the facility together with the rock... maybe, I don't I'm just guessing here. But I don't think they accounted for our meddling which allowed Anti to speedrun (I can't help but think of Anti going "SPEEDRUN!" running around in there) the facility, forcing the party to go into action. What that action is, is anyone's guess. My guess though, is that they're going to try to rescue Chase. How, I'm not sure. Either intercepting from one of the T section of halls Chase is sitting at and block Anti from him or if Marvin is there or something, magic his ass out of there before Anti can kill him. Either case, that scene is not over! And I can't wait (of course I'll wait, I want Sean to have the time to make it as spectacular as he wants it to be and to do that, he needs time. I'm a patient birb) to see what that will entail and what will happen! Also I would like to apologize... again. I wanted this post out MUCH earlier in the day but I kept getting interrupted in my typing. And then, I originally wanted to add audio clips to talk about them, sadly I wasn't aware that there was a limit of how many flies/links one can add to a post. And I really didn't want to break this into two parts... so... here! A SUPER ASS LONG ONE! With timestamps to match to the files I gave. (Yes, I'm well aware there's a lot of files with the same timestamps, I will move those into a folder within the JSE IRIS Clues folder and leave it for anyone to see them if they want. That has been updated as I wrote this out) Well, I hope you guys enjoyed my thoughts on the files. I'm curious to what you guys think, or discover on your own with the audio files I gave. Please do share them, Sean did point out about looking into the audio so I hope there are others out there mining away at this to truly uncover the hidden clues within! At least we know there is another party involved! I'm sorry we screwed up your plans, honest! Please save Chase.

If you do this, feel free to pick 15 out of this list. Or do them all. Go nuts.

Everything else goes under a readmore for the sake of your dashboard.

1. Are you named after anyone?

My deadname, no don't think so. Not that my mother mentioned, anyhow. My name, though, was stolen from my middle name so. I named myself after myself, if you want to put it that way.

Brown!

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

Scary movies make me way too anxious but I also like tragic endings more than happy ones.

8. Any special talents?

Singing! I have a pretty decent range. I also kinda,,, emulate whoever the singer is in general though. I guess that's a talent, too.

9. Where were you born?

Lost Wages. I mean--Las Vegas. Ngl, being born there, don't get the appeal.

10. What are your hobbies?

Writing (obviously), reading, playing video games

11. Have you any pets?

Snake and a turtle! Snake is named Sagora. Turtle is named Lyndis.

12. What sports do you play/have played?

Raven. He can help me decide if I want lunch.

20. Which planet do you feel like would be kind of an asshole if you met them? 

Mmmmmmm Saturn. Pluto I think would be an asshole but also it's an earned rage given how it got demoted from Planet status so like. yeah if Pluto was a dick I would at least deserve it.

21. if you were a worm would you love me? this worm question courtesy of ✨ @/legiomiam✨

First to die man I would get paralyzed with fear and then that's it. Game over. I'm a goner.

Whales are good beans!

[baghassavocados]

Gonna put a page break cause it's longgg

1. A little biased but Spinning Tree (both times) {I also enjoy the 2016 tour, a bit of McCarter, and Station Theater BUT I haven't seen many productions}

2. No 😔

3. Uhhh if I have to choose one, Noel, cause he's cool and interesting and he was really fun to play and he's honestly really caring.

4. The Most Creative Person in Town?

5. All of them, but "Noel's Lament" and "Ballad..." especially

6. My favorites are Nischa/Passion Fruit, Mischa x Talia (dunno if they have a specific ship name, they should), SpaceDolls, and PerfectDolls. My least favorite is Noel x any of the girls.

7. Constance's definitely (Mischa and Noel are tied for second)

8. (I put this at the bottom cause I put a LOT-)

9. Y E S- (I'd list them here but that'd make this post so much longer-)

10. Yeye I do :) (they all deserve another chance)

11. I've only ever heard that they exist :(

12. U H- all the New Birthday Song mini scenes? And the scene after "Every Story's Got a Lesson" in the 2016 version.

13. I like the rollercoasters that just spin you around a bunch (so probably similarly to the Gravitron?)

14. Yes

15. Ocean choosing Jane, Constance's monologue, "Talia" and what follows it, "New Birthday Song" and the Jane/Ricky and Noel/Mischa scenes after it, and "It's Not a Game/It's Just a Ride"

16. No

17. Yeah, such as staring blankly, sometimes moving like a marionette, leaning her head to one side, and a more monotone voice.

18. Ummmm

Ocean would try to find a prestigious college in Uranium so she could stay close to Constance but I think ultimately might go to Harvard. Dunno what she'd go into. Maybe teaching so she could be a principal or superintendent eventually (Practicing to be the Prime Minister of Canada). Constance would work at the Blackwood Café while doing online schooling. Dunno what she'd go into either...maybe culinary? Mischa would either take a gap year or just not go to college cause he prefers his rap career. Either way, he'd get a full-time job (probably has one already considering shitty parents don't care about him). He'd also get an apartment the moment he's legally and financially able to (unfortunately doesn't have enough money to get out of Uranium, yet). The rest of the choir would help him settle in. If he did go to college, he'd probably major in music. Penny might go into Forensics/Criminology, Psychology, or Zoology. She might try to go for all three at once. Ricky would go into creative writing but I have a feeling he'd major and/or minor in something else. I don't know what, tho. Noel would want to study abroad in France. Would he be able to? Not very likely. Maybe the choir would pitch in to help, that'd be nice. He'd major in French literature and culture, maybe minor in theater.

19. Jane and Talia - Blue (specifically the RTC album blue)

Ocean and Penny - Green

Noel - Red

Mischa - Orange (maybe also yellow)

Ricky, Constance, and Karnak - Purple

Ricky - also Pink

20. Fall Fair (but I do enjoy Uranium Suite)

8. Ocean and Noel are like siblings (hate each other {and Noel knows when to shut Ocean down} but care about each other), Penny has so many dark facts about animals, Ricky learned ASL on his own and has an AAC device, they all probably learn French cause they're Canadian but Noel likes to use it a lot in day to day life (but he also tries to use more European French than Canadian French), Ricky has a whole Google Doc and at least a few notebooks/sketchbooks dedicated to Zolar, they also have a DeviantArt account, Ricky's also trans but I can't decide which trans she is (like idk if they're Transmasc, Transfem, Gender fluid, Nonbinary... Ricky is THE transgender-) he uses any pronouns tho, Ocean is AroAce or Lesbian {either way, she is not attracted to men}, Constance loves baking for the choir and she makes sure to take into account any and all dietary restrictions, Ocean is a vegan, Mischa is unphased by horror movies but if he's watching one with someone else and they seem terrified he'll talk throughout the movie to make them less terrified and if they're enthusiastic he'll talk through some of it to point out details he notices, Mischa is like the older brother the choir never knew they needed, Ocean would probably add more (or has more) religions onto her list of religions (also for some reason, Ocean with a hijab is appealing to me), Ricky likes putting buttons on their uniform and customizing almost everything they own (such as technology, disability aids, sketchbooks, etc.) with cool stickers, Penny and Ricky (and maybe even Ezra) like to talk about Fnaf theories, Ricky has the choir beta read her writing {Penny, Mischa, and Constance tend to be the ones to do it}, when Noel finally feels comfortable to be Lola Lola for Halloween, Mischa and Ricky support him through dressing in drag with him, Mischa offers up stick and poke tattoos and Penny and Noel are the only two who take him up on it (Noel gets a bleeding, broken heart struck with an arrow on his shoulder, Penny gets a snake eating it's own tail on the back of her wrist, and Mischa gets a mixture of the two by the inside of his elbow), they're all autistic, and I think I should stop there cause oh man I didn't realize how many I had (i should make a doc or something with all of my headcanons-)

Imagine starting a party tradition for the whitebeard pirates

On an uninhabited tropical island

Ace: *having a good time with his friends*

You: *sits near by and starts carving into a pineapple with a knife*

Ace: what are are you doing?

You: don't look you'll ruin the joke, give me a minute

Ace: okay then *goes back to chatting with one of his crew mates*

Ten minutes later

You: *imitating marco's voice* hey Ace, who am I-yoi? *Holds the pineapple carved in the likeness of Marco the phoenix in front of your face*

Ace: *chokes on his drink* holy shit (y/n)

You: watch your profanity yoi

Ace: *leans too far back in his chair as he laughs and falls*

You: *still holding the pineapple up, you lean over him* what is the matter Ace-yoi?

Ace: *still laughing* please stop! It hurts *holds his stomach to try and ease the pain*

You: do you need a doctor yoi?*tilts your head and the pineapple to the side*

Ace: *laughing but now in tears* I'm gonna kill you, please stop!

Marco: (y/n) what are you doing to Ace?

You: *not breaking character or lowering the pineapple you look at Marco* I think something is wrong with Ace yoi.

Thatch: *starts laughing* (y/n) you evil genius.

Marco: I don't sound like that

You: *turns to whitebeard* what do you think, pops yoi?

Whitebeard: *turns his head and snorts*

Marco: ha ha have you had your fun (y/n)?

You: *lowers the pineapple* yes

Marco: are you done?

You: yes *goes and carves the marco pineapple into a drink cup, fill it with juice, put a straw in it, and you give it to Ace*

Ace: *tears still running down his face* oh thanks, what I always wanted, a fruit Marco.

Thatch: can I have a fruit Marco, too?

You: sure *ends up carving everyone a marco fruit*

Next party

You: on it pops *pops open your switch blade*

Imagine Shanks deciding to let you join the crew after realizing you are quite funny

Massive Sea king: *raises itself out of the water and stares down at the red force

Shanks and Benn: *stunned silent*

You: oh what fresh fuckery is this

Shanks: *thinks that's the greatest thing he's heard all week and fully intends to incorporate it in his vernacular*

On the Moby dick with Shanks and, whitebeard and his crew.

Whitebeard and Shanks: *exchanging information and small talk over a cup of sake*

Teach: *talking shit about Shanks under his breath with his crew mates, but loud enough for everyone to hear* I bet his dick is a different shade that the rest of his skin.

Shanks and whitebeard: *hear him but elect to ignore it*

You: *overhears and loudly retorts* yeah, it's every shade of your mother's lipstick.

Shanks: *chokes on his drink* (y/n)!

Whitebeard: *has the sake come out his nose* garahrahrahrah you picked a feisty one

Shanks: I haven't decided on whether or not they can stay yet

Whitebeard: oh sure, if you don't want em I'll take em. They're perfect for keeping my boys on their toes.

Shanks: I didn't say I was willing to let them go.

Whitebeard: garahrahrahrah, I suppose that's fair.

sabaody archipelago at Shakky's bar

Some random lady: *whining about her husband*

You: *annoyed with her* will you shut the fuck up?

Some random lady: you obviously don't have a husband

You: yeah, that's why I'm gonna fuck your's now instead.

Benn: *looks over at Shanks* can we please keep them?

Shanks: *sighs* yeah

Benn: congratulations (y/n), you're officially a member of the red haired pirates

You: fuck yeah!

Imagine learning Karl is very weak to signs of affection part 1

Karl: *has been working on some designs for hours*

You: *enters the room* Karl

Karl: I'm busy

You: I know darling, you skipped lunch so I thought I'd bring you some snacks and something to drink. *Puts a tray of food and a mason jar of water with a lid and a napkin*

Karl: why the mason jar?

You: it's the only container we have with a lid, I wanted to make sure your drink was in a container with a lid so it didn't spill and ruin your designs. *Puts your hands on his shoulder* please make sure to take a break and you stretch so you don't hurt yourself.

Karl: *blushing* alright.

You: dinner is at five thirty, see you then. *Gives him a kiss on his temple and leaves*

Karl: *pulls the brim of his hat over his face* they'll be the death of me.

That night

Karl: *returns to work after dinner*

You: *notices the factory has gotten pretty cold so you throw a blanket in the dryer and starts making hot cocoa*

Ten minutes later

You: *drapes the warm blanket around Karl's shoulders and puts a cup of cocoa next to him before leaving the room*

Karl: *didn't notice how cold he had gotten so he pulls the blankets tighter around himself* I've worked long enough *gets up and goes to the rooms you've made into living quarters to find you cleaning the kitchen and he stands behind you just watching you*

You: *turns around and jumps when you see him* sweet heart you scared me. Can I get you something?

Karl: I'm calling it a night, why don't you join me?

You: sure, give me a minute to wash my hands.

Karl: *flops down on the couch with his hot cocoa*

You: *wipes your hands* can I sit in your lap this time?

Karl: what?

You: can I sit in your lap to share the blanket?

Karl: *his voice cracks* sure *adjusts himself on the couch so you both can put you feet up*

You: *slides into his lap and takes ahold of one of his hands, pulls it into your lap, and begins to gentle massage lotion into it*

Karl: what are you doing?

You: you work with your hands all day, let me take care of them for you. Plus I like the way they feel in my hands. *Gives his knuckles a kiss*

Karl: *having an internal error 404*

You: Karl?... Karl, hey! ... Karl you still in there?....*straddles his lap and cups his chin in your hands to tilt his head back to get a closer look to see if he has a concussion*

Karl: I'm fine!!

You: oh that's a relief, I was worried there for a minute.

Karl: * grumbles* you worry too much

Imagine Karl learning you speak German the hard way

Author's note: I took German in highschool and college so I'm rusty at German so I had to look up a few things. If they're not correct, sorry, send me the proper thing and I'll fix it.

Part 2

Edit: everything has been fixed, anything that's not right has most likely been left on purpose. Thank you for the fixes @sweetwizardheart

The first week of knowing Karl

Karl: I asked for the fucking Phillips head not the flat head! *Throws the screw driver across the room*

You: *yelps in surprise*

Karl: *grumbles* Du bist für nichts zu gebrauchen (you are useless)

You: I'm sorry, I'm still learning please be patient with me. *Gets the proper screw driver and puts the one he threw back in it's original spot*

A month later

You: I made sandwiches for lunch! *hands him his plate*

Karl: *takes a big bite* es ist lecker, mein Schatz (it's delicious, my treasure)

You: *stares at him for a second*

Karl: it's alright

You: oh wonderful

Three months later

You and Karl: *on the couch in front of a flaming trash can, cuddling for warmth*

Karl: *his arm around you, and his hand running up and down your arm* (y/n)

You: *looks up at him* yes?

Karl: ich liebe dich, Schöne (I love you, beautiful)

You: *genuinely surprised* what?

Karl: it's nothing forget I said anything

Six month later

You: *infinitely more comfortable with Karl* I take it you'll need the eight millimeter wrench?

Karl: *on a rolling board under a machine* no, the ten millimeter

You: *hands him the wrench but drops it*

Karl: Arschgeige! (Literally means ass violin, but it's a rude outdated way of saying someone is an asshole)

You: *slams your foot down on the rolling creeper, right between his thighs, his testicles practically on your toes, and you pull him out from under the machine* Pass auf, Junge. (Means "watch out, boy" but in this case it's used as a warning)

Karl: Du kannst Deutsch! (You can speak German)

You: die ganze zeit (the entire time) *pushes him back under the machine and leaves*

Karl: *scrambling to get out from under the machine* wait! Warte! Liebling komm zurück! (Wait, darling, come back!)

You: *already in the elevator*

Duke: *hears Karl running after you and is absolutely delighted by the drama* oh my, what's going on?

You: Karl's a dick *exits the elevator on the top floor*

Karl: *floats up on a gear* where is (y/n)?

Duke: what did you do, I don't think I've ever seen them this mad before

Karl: I've been speaking my mind out loud in German, and it turns out they speak it as well.

Duke: I can sell you a box of chocolates and a bottle of champagne for three thousand lei

Karl: *sighs and reaches for his wallet* make it three bottles, and do you have any condoms

Duke: getting a little a head of yourself, don't you think?

Karl: do you have em or not?

Duke: yes *gives him the goods* good luck Lord Heisenberg. It's best to just apologize for whatever you did

Karl: yeah yeah, thank you.

Imagine the nickname the red haired pirates gave you making its way onto your wanted poster

Shank: welcome to the crew princess *ruffles your hair*

You: that's not my name

Shanks: too bad *sticks his tongue out at you*

During a fight

You: *is cornered by several marines*

Benn: hang on princess, I'm coming! *comes to your rescue* four men against one woman! You boys ought to be ashamed of yourself!

When you receive your first wanted poster

You: no! No!

Shanks: what's wrong

You: this is your fault

Shanks: what I do?

You: this! *Holds up your poster for him to see*

Shanks: *snorts* oh my god

You: shut up!

Benn: *just woke up from a nap* what's going on?

Shanks: our little princess got their first wanted poster?

Benn: oh, really what's your bounty?

Shanks: six hundred million berries

Benn: damn princess, for a first time bounty that's up there.

Shanks: but wait it gets better, get a load of this *holds the poster up for him to see*

Benn: *bursts out laughing* can we frame that?

Shanks: you bet your sweet bippy we will.

In a fight against the marines

Smoker: so you must be princess of the red haired pirates

You: *furious* that's not my name! It's a nickname they call me!

Smoker: excuse me?

You: my name isn't princess, if I tell you my name can you get the damn poster fixed? My captain and crew have been giving me hell about it.

Smoker: I can do that

A week later

You: *receives a new poster with your preferred name on it, goes to shanks and slaps it on the table in front of him* read it and weep

Shanks: *looks at the poster* no! They changed it!

You: Smoker kept his word, I stand by my opinion that he's one of the only reliable Marines.

Shanks: I'll get it changed back

A week later

Shanks: *had his meeting with the five elder celestial dragons*

You: *receives a new poster with the name princess on it again* Shanks! What did you do!

Shanks: I asked the five elders to change it back and not allow it to be changed again

You: why!

Shanks: because you're our princess

Protect The Starlight Sun/Moon x Reader Chapter 2

After you had walked into the Daycare the first thing you noticed was music playing in the background along with laughing children. Shawn down some stairs leading down to the entrance of the Daycare where all the kids were along with the Daycare attendant Sun. You didn't know much about Sun or even Moon. You had only heard a lot of things about the main 4 animatronics from friends. But they never talked about Sun and Moon.

Shawn pushed open the doors going inside letting you in before closing the big doors behind him. "Welcome to the Daycare where all the fun is. Sun is around here somewhere playing with the children. Sun! I have someone I want you to meet!" he yelled out the last part trying to get Sun's attention. Shawn had looked around before seeing a tall yellow-orangish animatronic skipping over to him with plenty of kids following him. "OH! Hello Shawn My Friend!! Didn't Even Hear You Coming Over The Children! No.. No.. No..." Sun had said quickly. Sun had finally noticed you picking you up twirling you around in a circle in his arms.

"OH HELLO NEW FRIEND!! Didn't Even Notice You!! No.. No.. No.. Didn't Notice You. WHAT'S YOUR NAME NEW FRIEND??" Sun asked you happily. You giggled when he had picked you up twirling you in his arms. He stopped twirling around so you wouldn't get sick. "Hi S-Sun! My name's Y/n and I now work by your side helping!" You said happily. You notice Sun smile even more if that was even possible. He might be an animatronic but everything you've seen so far made you think he was extremely adorable and also cute.

"OH THATS WONDERFUL Y/N!! Yes.. Yes... Yes... VERY WONDERFUL!! I Can't Wait To Work With You Y/n.." he said bending down to your level suddenly lowering his voice a bit so the kids couldn't hear. You and Sun looked at each other for what seemed like forever before you heard the sound of a fan turn on inside Sun. You heard all the kids giggle before teasing Sun about your presence. You swear you could see a blush on Sun's faceplate but it was just your imagination. "Uh.. I'm Sorry.. Need To Go Back To Kids... Yes.. Yes.. Yes Play With The Children. IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU Y/N!" Sun said before skipping off into where all the jungle gym area with all the kids following him.

You heard Shawn chuckling turning to you. "It's safe to say that Sun likes you but, time will tell if Moon will like you. Moon is a bit iffy about new people just to let you know in advance before you meet him. He tends to scare new people off so that's why this position is always open" Shawn said scratching the back of his neck. You smiled at Shawn before speaking up. "I'm sure I can handle Moon. It can't be that bad!" you said happily. You followed Shawn out of the Daycare as he would show you around the rest of the PizzaPlex. Unbeknownst to you Sun was watching you leave the Daycare the whole time. 

Sun's P.O.V

He watched as Y/n and Shawn left the Daycare talking to his twin in his mind. 'They're very pretty.. Very Very Very Pretty and Nice aren't they Moon?' he asked his twin and started to play with the children. 'Dangerous... Much too dangerous Sun... We can't trust.. no.. no.. no.. We can't trust Y/n' Moon replied quickly. "Sun! Can we play hide and seek?? PLEASE" all the kids asked him. "OH OF COURSE CHILDREN! I'll Cover My Eyes And Count To 20! Get Ready and 1.. 2... 3.. 4.. 5.." Sun continued counting. 'I don't trust Y/n' Moon said quietly. 'Aw COME ON MOON.. You Haven't Even Met Them Yet!' Sun pouted out. "18.. 19.. 20! Ready Or Not Here I Come!" Sun yelled out. He continued to play his game of hide and seek with the kids until they decided not to anymore. Moon would continued to argue with him about Y/n all day he knows. But right now is play time with kids. 

Y/n P.O.V

You had just finished your tour of the PizzaPlex noticing it was almost 7pm. You thanked Shawn for the wonderful tour of the PizzaPlex and letting you work here. Shawn chuckled saying it was all his pleasure before telling you that you come in tomorrow an hour before the Daycare opens at 8 and that you leave at 6. You thank him before leaving the building. You start to think about everything that happened while at the PizzaPlex especially about the moment when you and Sun stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity.

A faint blush appeared on your face before pushing that thought away. You think Sun is absolutely an adorable animatronic that's perfect for children. Your mind also wondered over what Shawn had said about Moon. Moon can't be that bad can he? He shouldn't be if he was made to work with children. You finally arrived home deciding it was a good time to take a shower then go to bed. You quickly took that shower before finally after a long day going to bed excited for your new job tomorrow.
